Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Zhang Xiaogang commented on the Pentagon’s report on Chinese military development, saying that “the American military strategy has become more confrontational and represents the greatest threat to global security.”
Gang said, in a statement on the WeChat platform, “The facts show that the American military strategy has become more confrontational and offensive, and the United States has become the greatest destroyer of the international order and the greatest threat to global security.”
He pointed out that “the United States uses its military superiority” to maintain unipolar hegemony and violent change of power, as well as to provoke color revolutions.
He stressed that, “In recent years, Washington has carried out illegal military operations in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other countries, which have led to serious humanitarian disasters, the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, and forced tens of millions to flee their homes.”
Beijing criticized a recent report issued by the US Department of Defense (Pentagon), entitled “Military and security developments related to China.”
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said, “Like previous reports of this kind, this recent US report ignores the facts, is full of bias and spreads the narrative of the Chinese threat only to serve as an excuse to maintain US military dominance.”
Lin continued, “China is firmly committed to being a force for global peace, stability and progress, while resolutely protecting its national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity.”
